The new moon in Libra occurs on October 7th at 2:44pm ET. Like all new moons, this one is about your potential and in the case of the sign of the scales, it is about moving with confidence towards more harmonious and loving relationships. Save the date of October 7th if you need to make peace with someone you have been feuding with. The days surrounding the new moon will also offer you opportunities for joyful encounters with both new and old friends.

However, the normally very positive energy of this particular full moon is tampered with a bit because Venus, the love planet, goes retrograde in the rather harsh sign of Scorpio and it is going to stay there until November 18th. In some very close and loving relationships, you might notice that the way you communicate becomes a little more formal. If there is trouble in a relationship, issues could come up. The new moon in Libra offers most of us the opportunity to make things clear in any problematic relationships before this Venus retrograde energy makes things harder for us.

Also, the next day, Mercury conjuncts Saturn also in the fence-sitting sign of Libra. Many people will want to censor what they say or feel very self-conscious about how they express their feelings. This is also why it is important to say everything that you need to in an important relationship.

Here is a look at how the new moon in Libra on October 7th could possibly affect your sign.
